Cartoonist

Clou is the pseudonym for Christian Louis, a Belgian cartoonist (b. 1952). He has worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for La Libre Belgique since 1992. In June 2010, he won Press Cartoon Belgium's Prix Public award.

In order to avoid the "fiscal cliff", that is to say a massive drop in income from the US Treasury, Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement which will lead to tax increases for households with incomes above $450,000 (€340,000) per year.

Meanwhile in Belgium, one of the main topics of discussion remains the number of French people, such as actor Gerard Depardieu, who are seeking to hop over the border to avoid paying high taxes.
